Mr. Thos Bradley,
Market and 21st Streets
Philadelphia

Dear Sir:
The strips of bacon that you
sent are not satisfactory and I
return them to you on this date
by West Jersey Express.
Narrow strips of good lean
bacon are what is wanted.
If you have bacon of that
kind you many send six pieces
to the Inn.
The Manager and Chef report
that the Calves head that you sent
is not fit for use in making
soup. They say that the Calves
head should be fresh. The one
you sent was frozen.

Yours truly,
Howard Hall
